Try the crunchy crust with soft fluffy potatoes! It’s great as a side dish or as a snack. Let’s make sweet soy-braised baby potatoes

The secret to delicious sweet soy-braised baby potatoes or Algamja-jorim is a crunch outer layer and a soft and fluffy inside.

It’s a great side dish! Perfect those who do not eat spicy food. I personally love this side dish because I like sweet food and potatoes. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.

You can make these ahead of time, store in the fridge, and eat them within a week or so. You can heat them up before eating or have it cold, my favorite way.

2. Parboil the potatoes for 5–7 minutes, until just slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.
3. Make the sauce and set it aside

4. In a shallow pan, add cooking oil and drained baby potatoes. Pan-fry the potatoes for 5 minutes on medium-heat.
5. Add the sauce, bring it to a boil, then cover and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes. Liquid may reduce – that's fine!
6. Turn off the heat. Drizzle in the corn syrup and mix well. The sauce will become glossy and may thicken slightly as it cooks.
